The most notable, their Beatport topping 2013 collaboration ‘Come On Now (Set It Off)’, was later picked up by Pete Tong’s FFRR imprint, having gained widespread success across the scene.

Heckmann and more into their distinctively analog, raw, and bassline-driven style. While their productions are mostly consisting of an elaborated mixture of EBM and old-school Dark Wave paired with technoid characteristics and captivating, roughly distorted vocals in German and English the duo equally stands for tool-ish and highly energetic Techno – modern, pounding, and dirty. With recent releases on labels like 01010100 Records, Vitus Curse and BFT, even more strongly performing self-releases like „Ego EP“ and their recent work „Dopamin“ they are slowly establishing their name in the scene and quickly growing their audience. With loads of unreleased work and their Vocal Live Performance Kalte Liebe is soon to be heard all over.
